6. If [ G ] [ X ] were still on the air today, the character played by [ U ] J. [ H ] would probably be a fan of [ H ] [ V ]. (Do you remember the very special episodes when [ Y ] [ K ] would visit the [ N ] house?)

7. [ Q ] is the mom from [ G ] [ J ], a show originally created for [ H ].

[U] [D]e was also in the [C] series, as mentioned in a previous puzzle.

TV's [C] is now a recurring character on [G][J].

After starring on the creator's previous show, [U] J. [H] made a guest appearance on a TV show whose theme song is called "[W]." The main character on this show had a middle name of [U] and his best friend had a middle name of [#].

As a side note, I think it's okay to look stuff up on these. It hadn't occurred to me that people considered this cheating until some of the comments. I think the point is more to unravel the logic than use trivia knowledge.

Of course, some of you have amazing trivia knowledge, and may not need to look any of this up.

Either way...

The more you solve, the easier it gets.

1. While it’s very [ F ] that [ Z ] a [ I ] [ K ], [ D ] is based on the work of [ C ] [ R ] and [ A ] is based on the work of [ X ], I think [ H ] better than both of them.

Now that I think about it, both actors who played [ A ] [ F ] [ J ] not only went on to play a fictional [ K ] in the movies, but they also both played fictional characters on television who wanted to be [ K ].

In Clue 16, you might consider the limited number of things someone would be likely to wish you.

Looking at Clues 21 and 29 together might raise the question of how many of our national holidays begin with the name of a German speaker who was alive in 1524, or, for that matter, needed someone to be instrumental in having it established.

Clue 23 references an author's 2008 suicide. You might know who that was, or could find out.

Clues 27 and 30, taken together, might narrow down the possibilities for [ # ], which in turn might give you a number of other variables in those clues.

Without saying any more, Clue #5 was my entry point to that one. The rest followed fairly quickly from there.

The new puzzle was inspired by the two newest movies on the list, currently in release, having the word [N] in them. I noticed the similarity between 17 and 12, as well as the similarity between 18 and 7. 17 lead me to 1, which suggested 4, and I was off.
